(Beyond Pesticides<\/em>, June 2, 2021) U.S. District Court Judge Vince Chhabria last week rejected a proposal<\/a> from multinational agrichemical company Bayer (Monsanto) to settle future court claims around the company\u2019s flagship Roundup\/glyphosate herbicide. In making his decision, Judge Chhabria asserted that the corporation\u2019s proposal was inadequate for future victims diagnosed with cancer after using the herbicide. The decision has Bayer scrambling for a way out, and it indicated in a \u201cFive Point Plan\u201d<\/a> released after the ruling that it will, \u201cdiscuss the future of glyphosate-based products in the U.S. residential market.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bayer\u2019s rejected proposal would have established a $2 billion fund, split between future claimants (who would receive between $5,000 and $200,000), and the cost to cover cancer monitoring, lawyers\u2019 fees, and an advisory panel to review claims. Bayer has agreed to a separate $9.6 billion agreement to settle existing lawsuits, having lost several rounds of litigation<\/a> where juries found in favor of plaintiffs who claimed that their use of Roundup resulted in their development of non-Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma. Recently, in mid-May, Bayer lost an appeal of the Hardeman vs. Monsanto case<\/a>, as a three judge panel upheld a $25 million award.<\/p>\n

Prior to rejecting the proposal on future claimants, the judge questioned why Monsanto (which Bayer purchased for $63 billion in 2018) never added a warning label to its Roundup products. \u201cFor years I\u2019ve been wondering why Monsanto wouldn\u2019t do that voluntarily to protect itself,\u201d said Judge Chhabria of the label, according to Reuters.<\/a> The judge was particularly concerned about individuals who are currently healthy, but likely to be diagnosed with cancer after using Roundup in the future. He noted that current healthy users may not adequately review or understand the proposal provided to them. Judge Chhabria expressed concern that Bayer could bring the case to the U.S. Supreme Court and receive a favorable ruling that the Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), the nation\u2019s pesticide law, prohibits lawsuits claiming a corporation did not adequately warn consumers about health dangers. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Ultimately, Judge Chhabria determined that Bayer\u2019s proposal had \u201cglaring flaws\u201d that would not benefit future victims. “If a settlement that reasonably protects the interests of Roundup users who have not been diagnosed with NHL (non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma) can be reached, that agreement must be presented on a new motion for preliminary approval,” said Judge Chhabria, of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. “The attorneys pushing this deal repeatedly intone that it will be difficult for Roundup users who are diagnosed with NHL in the future to get a trial, given the limited capacity of courts and given that many plaintiffs will be ‘in line’ ahead of them,” he continued.<\/p>\n

Bayer\u2019s response and five point plan indicates the company will create a new website on safety issues associated with Roundup that is likely to be, for all intents and purposes, corporate propaganda. It will ask EPA to approve a corresponding label that links to this website. The company will also establish an \u201cindependent\u201d science advisory panel that is part of Bayer\u2019s attempt to \u201cexplore alternative solutions aimed at addressing potential future Roundup claims.\u201d Those on the panel will also publish information to Bayer\u2019s new website, the company says, but advocates question as being biased information.<\/p>\n

The company will also \u201cregularly reassess\u201d whether its current approach to settling claims is able to \u201cserve the company\u2019s best interest.\u201d Bayer indicates it has addressed nearly 96,000 total claims to date, out of 125,000 existing. And as Judge Chhabria alluded to, Bayer is banking on the Supreme court to \u201csignificantly reduce future liability risk\u201d as it expects a favorable decision from the court in 2022 that would preempt state-based failure to warn claims that the company alleges are in conflict with federal law.<\/p>\n

However, the largest potential change announced from company headquarters concerns consumer use Roundup products. After noting that it will not affect \u201cprofessional or agricultural users,\u201d the company appears to be reconsidering sales to residential landscape users of Roundup, \u201cas the overwhelming majority of claimants in the Roundup™ litigation allege that they used Roundup™ Lawn and Garden products,\u201d the company wrote.<\/p>\n

Eliminating Roundup from store shelves is a move that regulators at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) should have taken long ago, according to advocates. It is unacceptable for regulators to sit by while tens of thousands of Americans develop cancer, and then leave the problem for the courts to work out, says advocates.<\/p>\n

Evidence is mounting that cancer is not the only concern when it comes to glyphosate exposure. A growing body of research finds that urinary concentrations of glyphosate in pregnant mothers corresponds with adverse birth outcomes<\/a>. Mothers with higher rates of glyphosate in their urine later in their pregnancy were more likely to experience preterm birth. And with this effect, glyphosate exposure beyond residential use is implicated, as one of the primary routes for pesticides in one\u2019s urine is through food.<\/p>\n

While Bayer hopes for a Hail Mary from the U.S. Supreme Court to cover its ill-fated gamble on Monsanto\u2019s hazardous herbicide, local advocates are encouraged to continue the fight in their communities, in the marketplace, and with their elected officials. Work to eliminate pesticide use where you live, but don\u2019t stop at Roundup- more toxic products are waiting in the wing to replace it if there isn\u2019t an organic land care plan in place to stop toxic pesticide use all together.

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides.

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions which affect them directly.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/beyond-pesticides\/","https:\/\/x.com\/ByondPesticides","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/bpncamp\/"],"url":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/author\/beyond-pesticides\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29327","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29327"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29327\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29331,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29327\/revisions\/29331"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19465"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29327"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29327"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29327"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
